Monocyclanthus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Annonaceae containing the single species Monocyclanthus vignei. [2] It is native to Ghana and Liberia. It is a rare plant of the understory of wet evergreen forest habitat. [1]
Monocyclanthus and Monocyclanthus vignei were first described in 1953 by Keay. [3]
Description
It is distinguished from plants in the genus, Uvaria, by the single whorl of petals being valvate, and from Isolona, by both the carpels and the petals being free. [3] The flowers are cauliflorous, that is, they flower on the trunk (or major branches). [3]
Threats
It is threatened by ecosystem conversion and degradation, from mining, quarrying, logging and wood-harvesting. [1]
